No NFS connection from sources list, manual mount works

Recently, I believe since last update (although it’s hard to keep track of updates since mine are fully automatic) my OSMC cannot connect to sources pointing to NFS shares on a NAS. The sources are all written with IP addresses, not hostnames. When trying to play something from library nothing happens and when trying to enter the source via Video > Files the message

Couldn’t connect to network server

is displayed. Here’s the thing though. If I try to mount an NFS share manually with a terminal over SSH like so

sudo mount -o tcp IP-ADDRESS:/export/sharename mountpoint

it works. This is of course a hacky way of connecting. How may I fix this so that library play works?
